Community Problem Solving

Students identify a problem, and then use the Four-Step Problem Solving Model to address the problem.  Field trips and interviews with community members might be in order.  Results will be reported in writing, and a visual component consisting of a video, photographs, or a diagram may be a part of the final project.  The problem solving team may submit the project to a competition or grant program and may receive funding, awards, and recognition.  Organizing fundraisers may also be involved.
